Naruto in Oz Ch 8
The group hurried into the Kage's tower, rushing back to the large room they met the face of the Kage at before. Again when they entered they were met by the sight of the Great Kage, or the floating, slightly see-through head of the Kage. Marching up rather proudly Naruto tossed the charred stick of what used to be the witches broom to the ground in front of the large smoking columns.
"Take that damn it! Uzumaki Naruto always completes his missions!"
Sasuke rolled his eyes, that is until he caught sight of the blessed blue panties again, the nosebleed had him silently trying to recover a little way away.
"Ah! So I see, I like your style! Come back tomorrow and I will see what I can do-..."
"Tomorrow's ass! You promised!"
Gaara nodding while glaring and Hinata looked upset though determined, Kakashi for his part had regained his book just before leaving and was making up for lost time. Sasuke slowly came back making a conscious effort to refrain from looking anywhere near or lower than the boys waist. However as Naruto continued with a very verbal and very vulgar argument with the disembodied head, Sasuke noticed a echo. It wasn't a echo like the booming voice made, but more like a slightly more muffled voice speaking seconds before the Kage's image.
"That's it man, come out here and I'll show you what a real Kage is made of!"
Naruto was held back by Hinata and Gaara as he tried to rush the ghostly image, ignoring the flames and smoke pouring around it. Sasuke however took no notice as he followed the sound toward what looked like a curtain. Pulling it back slightly his gaze went from mildly curious, to very VERY unimpressed.
"You've got to be kidding me."
Spooked from his previous activity a man in a skin tight green three piece suit spun with a super bowl cut and super thick eyebrows and stared at Sasuke for a second before ripping the curtain from his hand and speaking again.
"P-Pay no attention to the devilishly handsome man behind the curtain!"
The other, having not seen Sasuke's discovery paused in their fight, Naruto who had been struggling to get free of Hinata's clutching grasp on one of his legs and Gaara who had jumped on his back trying to weigh him down, stopped in his tracks.
"Man"
"Behind?"
"Curtain?"
Kakashi looked up seeing frozen expressions and sudden silence, "Huh?...What happened?"
Sasuke again pulled back the curtain and Gai-sensei smiled, waving sheepishly at them all while gifting them with a sparkling grin.
"Ahhh! So full of youthful curiosity!"
"G-Gai-sensei! You're the Great Kage of Oz!"
The man burst from the curtained area smiling, "Haha! That's what they call me now!"
Naruto face faulted as Sasuke contemplated maybe killing everyone here just out of sheer frustration.
"B-But...!"
The man smiled knowing what the objects were from the three people now staring at him sadly.
"Now now! I said I would help you, Scarecrow Lion and Tin-boy! I am a man of my word!"
Turning he pulled out a large black bag while motioning for them all to gather. They did so reluctantly, Kakashi didn't know why, but this guy slightly irritated him. As for Hinata she was frightened more than she had ever been in her young life, how would she ever look the other lions in the face now! Gaara was feeling anger boil up in the heart he didn't have.
"Scarecrow, I'll have you know, where I came from there are boys who hold titles greater than you can imagine with as little brains as you have. They've only go tone thing you don't!" Digging in the bag for a moment he cursed as the sound of items being pushed aside came through. Letting out a triumphant 'Aha!' he pulled back and tossed a framed something at Kakashi who caught it and stared.
"What's this?"
Grinning winningly he gave Kakashi the nice guy pose, "That my friend, is a diploma! Congratulations on graduating!" He slapped the straw man on his back while Kakashi studied it. This would give him brains? Seeing the doubt written on the mans face Gai sighed and spoke.
"If you doubt it just ask anyone, could someone without brains think about not believing someone?"
Seeing the semi-logic in that Kakashi grinned happily and leaned toward Naruto, "Now I have a brain to think about why a boy would wear a dress."
Kakashi was instantly face first in the floor, having a ruby red sandal imprinted on the back of his head and an angry Naruto stomping away.
"And you Hinata!"
The girl 'peeped' from the loud man's voice, shrinking back slightly she made ready for a get away. However she was stopped when he threw an arm around her shoulders leading her up some steps.
"You my dear girl are simply confused."
"Con-Confused?"
"Yes! You're confusing wisdom with cowardice! Why in Konoha where I am from I know tons of ninja's who are hailed as heros with no more bravery than you have! They only have one thing you don't have!"
"What!" Her big pale eyes widened in excitement and anticipation.
"A metal! Here I have-hold on..."
The man all but dove into the bag as he fished through finally finding whatever it was and pulling back. "Here!" He smiled holding it out to the girl, the metal being almost as big as her head with a purple banner going a crossed a golden lion who was roaring and had claws extended.
"Oh!"
Hinata smiled happily at it as Gai fumbled with the 'damn clip' as he put it and pinned the large metal to the thick fur.
"T-Thank you!"
Again he offered up a nice guy pose and grinned like an idiot.
"No worries!"
Turning to Gaara he leaned down getting serious for a moment, "You...You have no idea how lucky you are to not have a heart. I would say you're better off without."
Gaara hugged Yashamaru-chan tightly and anyone who was paying close enough attention could see a slight pink warming the tin boys cheeks.
"I would still like to have one, all the same"
Sighing Gai reached in the bag, again having issues with finding the right object before pulling out a large red heart-shaped clock with a white chain.
"Here, treasure it, it's both a blessing and a curse."
Gaara smiled and nodded, putting the ticking object to his ear. Everyone reveled in their newest improvements to the better qualities they had suspected of not having for a moment before Kakashi looked up seeing Naruto and Sasuke standing quietly.
"...What about them?"
Gai turned and looked to Naruto smirking, "Ah the boys! Young love at it's best! Don't worry boys!" leaning in he spoke winking and smirking. "Actually I am the real Gai-sensei. I was tossed here by the same justu as you both!"
Naruto again found himself face first on the ground before jumping up and trying his best not to hit the teacher.
"What the hell! Why didn't you say that!"
Shrugging the man held up a finger, "It's not important! What is however is the fact that I have learned that very jutsu, if I perform it and we get hit by the tornados again we can go home. Good ne?"
"Really!"
"Yosh! Let's do it!"

The whole of the Hidden Village of Oz was out, standing around a platform that held their dearest Kage and the male witches who had done away with the Wicked Witches. A grand group indeed!
"My Dear villagers! I regret to say I have to take my leave to go back and share thoughts and powers with my other Kages in Konoha! However I will leave you in good hands! Kakashi the scarecrow who is learned and wise, Gaara the Tin-boy who is sensitive and caring, and Hinata the Brave and Outgoing! Follow them as you have me!"
Naruto scoffed leaning over to Sasuke, "Nice speech for a guy who is lying to them."
Nodding Sasuke smirked, Gai turned to them smiling, "Ready?"
"Yes." "Yeah."
Nodding Gai performed a series of seals and mumbled to himself, however instead of the tornados coming there was a loud bang and Gai was thrown backwards slamming into Gaara. The boy cursed shoving the man off of him before checking his health.
"...I don't think it worked."
Naruto blinked blankly for a moment before cursing and startling the masses of people gathered around them. He was prepared to kick the nearest person or thing before a familiar voice appeared beside him.
"Knock it off, Brat. Throwing temper tantrums makes you look stupid and childish."
"Can it Tsunade-Baa-chan!"
THUD!
Naruto was really getting tired of getting close ups of the floor and sat up rubbing the wand shaped bump.
"Don't call me that Brat!"
Naruto jumped up getting in her face and shouting back, "Don't call me brat hag!"
"Why you little-...!"
"Is there some reason you're here?"
Tsunade paused, wand raised and prepared to turn Naruto into something unnatural. She looked to Sasuke and blinked before casting a glare at Naruto and looking away.
"Yes. I came to tell you, you idiots could have gone home all along."
"What! How!"
"The shoes, kid."
There was a silent moment where you could hear a cricket chirping on cue.
"WHAT!"
THUD!
"Stop yelling, Kid!"
Sasuke looked back to the blonde woman, "What do you mean? Why didn't you tell us before"
She sighed, "It was to teach you a lesson. What have you learned from you're mission through Oz?"
The two paused in thought before Naruto spoke, "Not to wear a dress around Sasuke!"
Half or slightly more of the crowd including Gaara and Hinata blushed at that and the smirk painting the Uchiha's face after the comment. Tsunade turned red.
"No! Idiot!"
"Well damn it! I didn't want to learn anything I just want to go home!"
Sasuke was quietly agreeing with his little lover on both comments, however he wisely kept it to himself. Tsunade threw her hands up.
"Whatever brat! Click your heals together three times and repeat 'there is no place like home'. That will get you back and out of our hair!"
Naruto paused and looked down smiling before saluting everyone, "Thanks -baa-...err Tsunade!"
"Hm." With an irritated wave of her wand she was gone and Naruto grabbed Sasuke's wrist clicking his heels together.
"Bye Naruto-kun!"
Grinning at Hinata and the others Naruto spoke the words keeping a tight hold of Sasuke as the world began to blur, colors running together as everything lost solidity.

Slowly the blonde blinked the confusion running from his features as he began to recognize the white tiled ceiling of the medical ward. Beside him he heard someone stir and looked to Sasuke who was waking up as well from his position on the bed next to Naruto. Jumping from the bed he pounced on Sasuke whooping as he squeezed the boy.
"We made it! We're back!"
After a moment the deep voice sounded, rumbling the blondes chest that was pressed into Sasukes.
"What are you talking about Dobe?"
He didn't even have time to get pissed at the name as he pulled back staring hard at Sasuke, "What do you mean, 'what am I talking about'?"
Sasuke leaned back watching Naruto who was perched on his lap without noticing it, the few scratches and injuries they'd gotten from the mission, ignored in view of new events.
"I mean, what do you mean, we're back? We've been here for a few days though this is the first time you've woken up."
Naruto was at a loss...Sasuke didn't remember!
"Come on Teme! You remember, we went to Oz and saw the Hidden Village of Munchkins and Tsunade was a good witch who gave us the ruby red sandals we got after we dropped the shed on Itachi! Orochimaru the Wicked Witch of the West showed up and I had to wear that stuuupid blue dress that you kept trying to get off me! Orochimaru was chasing us for the sandals but we met up with Kakashi who was a scarecrow who wanted brains and Gaara who had a teddy bear and wanted a heart, then Hinata who was a lion and wanted courage! We had to go kill Orochimaru because Gai the Kage of Oz wanted us to bring back her broom so we melted her and Sakura and Ino were her servants and...and..."
Sasuke was giving Naruto the most blank stare the blonde had ever seen, thinking Sasuke had gone into a mental shock Naruto paused, "Teme...Are you okay?"
Slowly the Uchiha smiled, "Blue dress?"
...
That's all he heard!
"Jerk!"
The hospital, which was a quiet place of healing for the wounded ninja of Konoha...wasn't so quiet. From room where the young boys of team seven were staying exploded with shouting and crashing sounds.
"You're a complete ass!"
"You brought it up! Why not wear a dress for me?"
"Pervert!"
"Possibly."
"Stop touching there!"
"Naruto-kun, you're injured, you should calm down."
"St-stop it no-...ahhh!"
Outside the door the nurses had stopped in the tracks and were blushing while Kakashi giggled behind his hand and Sakura blushed while remembering to share this juicy info with Ino and Hinata, newest members of the SasuNaru fan club.
